Policy implementation is done through secretariat administration (ministries and divisions) and field administration (functional and territorial entities). The functional entities include departments, autonomous bodies, corporations, and authorities. The territorial entities are divided into divisions, districts, and upazilas headed by commissioners, deputy commissioners, and upazila officers respectively.
